Serial killer suspect agrees to plead guilty
Gary Leon Ridgway, a 54-year-old truck painter arrested in the United States serial killer case in 2001, will admit to murdering 42 women on an investigators’ list of Green River Killer victims, as well as six women not on the list, sources said, who are involved in the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Green River Killer preyed mostly on prostitutes, drug addicts and young runaways and other women on the streets. The case is named after the waterway where the first bodies were found in the suburbs south of Seattle in mid-1982.
